David Weller (born 11 February 1957) is a retired Jamaican track cyclist.

Weller won a bronze medal in 1000 metres time trial at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow,^[1] becoming the first (and still the only) Jamaican to win an Olympic medal in another sport than athletics (track and field).

At the next Olympic Games in Los Angeles 1984, Weller finished sixth as a result of a serious pre-Olympic competition injury received in a crash in Medellin, Colombia two months before his 1984 Olympic competition.
